Japan Tokyo Legend Sports Bar in Roppongi (it is attached to the Hobgoblin irish pub which also shows it).

I need to go soon for three months to Yokohama. Any idea what's available? I know Roppongi a little (pssshhh), but that is little bit inconvenient, especially in odd hours. What TV channels I can tune in?

MiPe:You want to find a bar/place with the "SKY PERFECT" satellite system.F1 is on channel 721 (Fuji TV ONE) I have been to the yokohama sports bar but it's mostly footbaroo.

The bar mentioned in Roppogi DOES stay open forever though and has good links to the underground if you can't find anything near.

At The Australian venue, which is also used by the MeetUp group, you cannot find a bunch of more nerdier types, I am sure they are all Hamilton supporters! [Hamilton is the nerd and Jenson is the jock!]

Most treat it like a football match and the noise from all those nasally squeaky types, is so loud that you will NOT be able to hear commentary.

And viewers in the United States are about to be forced to endure, not only coverage that does things like put ads on as the last round of leader pitstops occur, but have to watch the next four grand prix via the non-cable public Fox channel!

The commentary is just so inane as we HAVE to revert to basics as they pretend that it attracts "new viewers in the United States" [yeah right!] but also, it is screened SEVEN g-------m HOURS! after the start!

Generally I hate Speed Channel because it is mostly either NASCAR or shows for numbskulls such as "Wrecked" - showing less than intelligent tow drivers "in action"!!! Ye gods!

If tehre was another outlet I would go to it, but in the US, there is none. It is unfortunately the dratted Speed Channel and the bloody Fox crap for four races or nothing.

The folks in Europe, those in England with the wonderful BBC coverage do not realize how lucky they are - and they do not have people such as Bob Varsha commentating either!

I went once for interest sake and that is the last time!

Really? Come down to The Australian on Sunday and say that to our faces.

I am about to travel back to Japan for a few months. Does anyone knows whether Fuji TV network provides internet broadcasting services (of F1)? I did go through google based searches, but cannot make a head and tail out of it. If anyone can provide some basic guideline what to look for and what to avoid, that would be greatly appreciated. I will try to make Suzuka, but I cannot miss Schumi's comeback! For Valencia race I shall be at Hiroshima, for Spa in Nagoa, and for the others back to Tokyo or Yokohama. (Which is a reason why internet based viewing on my laptop might be best bet, if that's available).

I found myself in Montreal last weekend at 7 am on a race Sunday morning with nowhere to go thanks to the train strike. Wandered around looking for a place to watch the Hungarian GP without much hope, but then went into Dunn's Deli (24-hour smoked meat place) on Metcalfe just south of St. Catherine. They have TSN on 24 hours so you can watch the race there, but without volume, and get a cheap breakfast too.

Thanks.

Edit: I have dropped them actually an email (just as to BBC).

Update - in Tokyo to get Fuji channel with F1 is not an issue at all, and should you get stuck on red-eye Nozomi, but have wireless, there is the web site which for annual fee of about $20 let you to watch it all on you notebook screen; anywhere! Looks like viewing problem does not exists other then who's paying for the drinks while session is on ...

I would have to search. The Internet site I was reffering to in my previosu post is, I think, of British origin.

I know there's a recommendation in the first post, but are there any other tips on good places to watch the Japanese GP in Tokyo ? I'd imagine it'll be on in a number of bars as it's the home GP, but is there anywhere esecially good in the city as a whole, and anywhere near Shinjuku ?
